In other news, this weekend is my 3rd annual gallery photo sale. Photos, framed & unframed, dailypic books, all for sale at great prices for holiday gifts. There will also be raffles and I am photographing toys and keepsake for free. Bring down your action figures or kids toys, maybe a favorite stuffed animal or blanket. Check out our timricephoto commercial starring the guy in the Batman mask above.

Another December so it is time for Snowman Sundays. Each Sunday I will share a photo of my wife’s Snowman collection. Sometimes I get to pick, sometimes (like tonight) I do not. This was purchased on our trip north a few months back. The moment it was in her hands, she told me this will be the first Snowman Sunday shot for 2013.

Nightmare Before Christmas came out in 1993, I saw it in the theater 3x, twice back to back. I was working at Newbury Comics and we all thought it was brilliant, quoting it, blasting the songs in the store, I am sure we drove people crazy. This evening it was on and my son and I watched it. Considering the technology and all 20 years ago, it still looks incredible. Now I know it is a Disney property, I will forgive that. A brilliant movie is brilliant even if it has a Disney logo at the end, but this is Tim Burton’s creation, it’s his masterpiece, based off a poem he wrote while working for Disney. This is Jack’s second time in the collection this year. He was my pumpkin shot 021/365 for Halloween back in October. This is one our favorite Christmas Tree decorations, that always gets prime real estate somewhere in the front. Go watch the movie, learn the songs, spread the word of the Pumpkin King.

The family purchased 8 pumpkins today. It would’ve made a great daily pic, had time not got away from me. There will be carving tomorrow, power tools will be involved (if we are doing it, we are doing it right). So until then enjoy these metal replicas that hang in front of my house.
